What are the Administrative Safeguards of HIPAA?

The administrative components are really important when implementing a HIPAA compliance program;

you are required to:

  • Assign a privacy officer
  • Complete a risk assessment annually
  • Implement employee training
  • Review policies and procedures
  • Execute Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all partners who handle protected health information (PHI)
